Hi all,has anybody had any experience with the 1.8 Duratec engines?I have one in my 2001 Mondeo and it has to be THE most uneconomical car ive ever owned.My wife has a 2.0 24valve 6 cylinder Bmw that does more to the gallon!

Can i do anything about the mpg,i.e chips etc.....Would this even help?Its serviced regularly as its a taxi so its kept in good order(I didnt buy a diesel because im not a fan!)

Please help

 

Sounds like something is wrong. It should be quite economical unless you thrash it etc.

 

Its a 1.8 Mondeo,defo does not get thrashed!Has a 0-60 time of 2.5 months Its a dull car but it does the job,and does it well enough.Just wish it wasnt quite so juicy.

 

It should go better than that!! Check start checking the sensors. Could be a dirty connection or something.
